Captain George McLeod, agent of the in- surance company, arrived Saturday, to look over the stranded schooner Northwest. Itis decided to adandeu her for the winter and shejkas been stripped.

It is impossible to say anything about loading a boat now. The ore is frozen sol- id. Atelegram from Marquette also report- ed the ore frozen. Ore shippers had hoped to get a great deal more ore from Escanaba and they are still in the market for tonnage with the rate of freight satisfactory to such vessel owners as can conveniently send their boats there, but this unwelcome news may put a stop to shipments from Lake Supe- rior. Several boats are on their way up there, but it is generally believed that the weather will not perm‘t some of them to return, One of the Cleveland transportation compa. ny’s boats arr.ved at Portage and a report from her says that ice is making there.

She is about the size of the Miami. Capt. W. B. Morley now has about twen- ty-five frames up for the new steamer which he is building at his yard in this city. This steamer will be a little longer than the W. B- Morley, and be the largest boat of and description ever built on the St. Clair river. She will probably carry nearly 2800 tons. PORT ARTHUR, ONT. Gradually the navigation season is draw- ing near its close. The Empire expects to make one more round trip, and the C, P R. steamers hope, ; weather permitting, to make two more. This fall is considered ex- ceptionally favorable for mariners. Last year at this date people were crossing Kaministiquia on the ice, while now it is open, mild weather..
